Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Ehh, he misses what 2 actually challenging games. UNC and either Georgetown or UCLA. If anything this could help the team. The younger guys get even more playing time to help the depth comes tournament time.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Unrelated, as I've been on the road a bit and behind on some of these things... what's the outlook for Creek this season, assuming he stays healthy for long enough to actually be seen in a meaningful game? With the new guys, and with continued improvement (I expect) from Sheehey and Oladipo, does he become the forgotten man?

Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

BREAKING NEWS: Florida LB Clyde Newton just informed http://Peegs.com that he has committed to Indiana. That makes 13 commits for #iufb.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Hed get a ring even if he was out the entire year. But lets be honest here, if the team wins it all this year Cody and Yogi will both be 100x more responsible for it than Elston

Yeah, okay, who cares? The kid is a part of the team and part of a senior class who has resided over the resurgence of IU basketball. So what if he would not be an integral cog in a title winning team--he deserves a ring every bit as much as Cody or Yogi would.

No offense but you need to go back and read what I wrote. Because I never once said he didn't deserve one. In fact I never once said anything close to that.

I just happened to catch Dakich talking about Creek earlier this week. The word he used to describe him was "stiff". Still wasn't moving around well apparently. It didn't sound like he expected much at all out of him.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Question: Say we could only get Anya OR Williams--which one would you prefer?

That's not even a question. Anya all day. Now say we can only get one of Anya or Vonleh. That is more of a toss up. We really need Anya's post skill if we lose Cody, but Vonleh has that Durant/Beasley potential.

Something to note hes looking like a one and done and if Kentucky gets Wiggins, I don't really see the advantage of having a one and done in 2013. It might be better to build for the future.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Already has four 5 Star Recruits. Wiggins is pretty amazing. Hes one of those guys who could start in the NBA right out of High School probably.

Not saying they will for sure win it all. But you would have to say they are by far the favorite. And perhaps it would be better to get the guy that will be a sophomore with experience in 2014. Who will still be a good player in 2013, rather than the guy that will be better in 2013 but will be gone in 2014

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Vonleh has that kind of potential as well. You absolutely try and get a guy like Vonleh no matter what if he is interested, especially since he seems like a good kid. Troy Williams is a fine player but if he is the only guy out of the Vonleh, Anya, Williams group of interest we get, he will be kind of a let down compared to the other two.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

As someone who doesn't follow recruiting, is this Wiggins dude LeBron 2.0 or something?

Yes. And it's looking more and more like he's going to wind up at Florida State, it's a pretty interesting story. Interesting in the sense that most sane people would shake their head at that description, but still.

Thank god I hope he does end up there. Last thing I want is Kentucky to win another title with Calipari.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

I hope we get all three. But if we can only get two I want Williams and vonleh.

I predict:
1. 3 seniors graduate
2. Creek pays his way or is done next year and gets a job with his degree or plays overseas. He has a kid on the way.
3. Zeller and either will or victor go pro.
4. Austin transfers to get more pt.

That leaves room for the four committed already and Williams, Anya, and vonleh.
